“Being a part of the shared kitchen in Ithaca has helped my company grow in ways I can truly measure, both professionally and personally. The program has connected me to markets and opportunities that were difficult to access on my own. Through the guidance, resources, and relationships they have provided, I’ve gained valuable knowledge and confidence that has expanded the reach of my business beyond what I once thought was possible”

“When I first joined the Shared Kitchen, my only plan was to sell at the Farmers Market. SKI connected me to the right people, resources, and guidance to get permits, understand the wholesale process, and grow in ways I never imagined. I never thought something I made would end up on the shelves of a local store like GreenStar, which is now my main distribution channel. The Shared Kitchen truly changed the direction of my business and opened doors I didn’t even know existed.”

“Ithaca Shared Kitchen has helped Styx grow tremendously in all areas of our business. As first-time business owners, they guided us through our struggles this past year, and we are truly grateful for the mentorship and support we’ve received. Stephanie and Rod have played a huge part in our journey, and we are thankful for everything they’ve done. We look forward to continuing to grow with Ithaca Shared Kitchen in the future!”

“We wouldn’t have been able to grow nearly as fast as we have without the facilities, equipment, and support of Shared Kitchen Ithaca. Within a year, we’ve tripled the number of cookies we make per week, and we would never have been able to produce that kind of volume without a professional space. We also love our little community of food entrepreneurs who use the kitchen!”
